I read about this over a year ago on the Popbitch board (they don't like him much there) IIRC it didn't say the victim was Hayley, just he was having an affair. Nice to see they were spot on, she reminds me of Jessica Ennis a bit in looks

Popbitch have always had him down as pretty unpleasant.

Brigstocke was waxing lyrical not long ago about how wonderful his life at home was - his wife, his kids, his house etc. Whilst all the time he was having an affair. Hypocritical, sanctimonious, totally unfunny ar$e.

They've been together for three years - that's 1/4 of the length of the marriage already.

No they've been messing around for two years behind his wife's back and he might still be doing the same if she hadn't found out and thrown him out. That "perfect weekend" shambolic lying interview was done in 2011 when he had been mucking around with Hayley for a year. He was lying to the pair of them, her and his wife.

At least Sophie has had the balls to chuck him out when she found out. Hayley seemed happy to be the bit of fluff for two years.

Well done to his wife for booting him out

I must admit I find him mildly entertaining on that 'Never seen Star Wars' thing on R4 but apart from that I think he's a prat. Glad the wife saw sense

= [My] pretending to be shocked '' by the date of the [2011] happy families article - having just read the post alleging that Marcus + new girlfriend have been together three years. Joke was on me - not any other poster here.

Never met him or worked with him, but know several people who work (or have worked) on the Now Show, who have him quite high on their list of "People We Don't Like Working With". Most of the regulars on that show seem to make it onto someone's naughty list, except for Steve Punt who everyone seems to think is a sweetie.

I understand what the phrase "sheltered life" means (I wasn't born yesterday). I just didn't understand to whom you were applying it.

But yes he had been having an affair for over a year by the time that article was published. So the lesson is don't believe everything you read in the papers - but I'm guessing most of us knew that already.

I have. And sadly he made it onto my list of 'people I used to love watching/listening to but can't look at any more now I know what they're really like'. Samuel West is another one. (Timothy West on the other hand is lovely.)

I can now enjoy I've Never Seen Star Wars again but I would find it hard to listen to anymore rants on the Now Show. I know actors are not the characters they play and comedians have a persona but it's still disappointing when they turn out to be ... well... disappointing.
